Does Aider work with Standard Compute?

Yes. Aider supports a custom OpenAI-compatible base URL, so it works with Standard Compute. Set the base URL to https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1, paste your API key, and set the model to "standardcompute".

What base URL do I use for Aider?

Use https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1 as the OpenAI-compatible base URL in Aider, with your Standard Compute API key and the model "standardcompute".

Do I need to change my code or model names?

No. The request and response format is identical to OpenAI's, and "standardcompute" is a single model identifier that routes to the best frontier model for each request — so you never pick or update model names.

Get more out of Aider

More tasks to run, more code to test, more work to ship. Standard Compute helps your AI spend cover more of it.

Make your AI spend go further

Get more compute for the work you want to do. Standard Compute compares provider prices and performance automatically, so you spend less time shopping for inference.

More work from your compute

Routine agent steps can use efficient models, while demanding tasks get frontier intelligence. Smart routing puts those options to work together to stretch your compute.

Keep your agent and your projects
